Military Toxicology

　　Military toxicology， evolved from the needs of medical supports during the first and the second　World War and developed during the later stage of 20 centuries， becomes a division of military　medicine. It is designed to solve both academic and practical problems for a medical treatment　system of the troops' chemical defense and security in peace and war. It plays a major role in the　toxicological assessment of health and environmental hazards associated with substances that are usedprimarily by the military or that present an unusual type of exposure as a result of a unique military　environment. It deals with the way that substances are absorbed， distributed or eliminated and　studies the mechanism of a xenobiotic-induced intoxication. And it can even identify poisonous and　hazardous chemicals from different sources such as air， soil， fruits， waters， urine or blood. As a　classroom discipline it is to train the students for a wide range of toxicological issues so that the　students may work under supervision of researchers in emergency medicine or participate in an active　research project.Althoughtherearesomeexcellentreferencesintoxicology，atextbook　systematically elaborating the theoretical and practical problems encountered in military operations is　not available until now. This void impelled the authors to produce the present textbook for students　in military medical colleges and research institutes.The first edition of Military Toxicology provides both basic and practical information on the　many facets of toxicology and especially on the principles， concepts and modes of thought that are　the foundation of the discipline. It also reflects the progress made in defenses of chemical agents and　even in chemical hazard management.Graduate students and researchers will find this book an　excellent reference when approaching problems encountered in areas of military medicine orperipheral interests.
